The Bank Dan Dougherty

One minute Trey Hanrahan is president of a $26 billion bank, the next his bank is targeted for takeover by a powerful Mafia crime family. The mob wants the bank for its billions in cash, confidential records, and its international connections in order to boost their worldwide illegal activities. The syndicate's front man is Carl Berger, sharp as a stiletto. He conceives the clever takeover plan, sells his crime bosses on the idea, then surreptitiously convinces the bank's largest shareholder to go along with the sale. Hanrahan fights the takeover with a three-prong defense plan that will uncover the mob's criminal activities, force the syndicate leaders into open federal court and shine the unwelcome light of publicity on their illegal operations. However, in fighting the takeover Hanrahan knows he risks not only his job, but also his life. THE BANK is the story of two powerful men whose lives have crossed since childhood, and whose ambitions fuel this multi-billion dollar conflict.
